Warhammer Online Information by the Truckload

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the massively-goes-to-war dept.

Last week Massively.com got the chance to head over to EA Mythic's Virginia lab to clock some hands-on time with Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning . As a result they were pumping out loads of review content, everything from hardcore PvP info to dungeon crawling to crafting. The culmination of all this hard work was a summary post with clickable navigation to all of their review resources. Definitely worth a look if you are at all curious about this upcoming behemoth.

    I'm unfamiliar with that unit of measurement. Could someone convert that to Libraries of Congress, or failing that, to metric buttloads and I can convert from there to LoCs.

      I'm sorry, we only deal in imperial buttloads

      Hence the McCain '08 tag on your posts?

      Assuming the information is stored on hard drives, and a hard drive weighs 700 grams, and the truck in question is a Ford Super Duty, which has a capacity of 6,120 lbs, and the hard drives have a nominal capacity of 500 decimal gigabytes, I estimate the amount of information per truckload to be approximately 1.76 petabytes.

      If they were using an 18-wheeler I'd really be impressed.

    I could deal with that if the game was more exciting than Microsoft Excel.
